transform and chill out

more transformers, this time drawn from memory of the old cartoon series. you can see i was not confident in drawing of megatron's helmet. i probably had to google some images after i'd done a couple of these.

to do: ignore to do list

one thing i really envy is the ability to draw technology well. some people can just make up realistic (or futuristic) creases and joints and tubes for tech drawings all day long. my robots always turn out looking very clunky and simple. in fact, the "transformers" doodle in the center looks like it was probably photo referenced (movie version), cause i never would have thought of anything as cool as car door shoulder-blades.

the close-up is clearly freehand, though. not only could i not figure out how to make a face look robotic, but i struggled with shading it up the middle, too.

predator is looking fine, though. the hardest part of drawing him is conveying the netting in his costume without letting those lines dominate or read too heavy. medium success here.

from the looks of this comic, i'd given up a few months later.
